Don't Do Stupid Things Like A Younger Me.

                                                Stupid Thing Number One
When I was a kid my parents had what was called a wringer washer which had head rollers to press the water out of the clothes. One day I decided to put my arm through the wringer rollers and then had to yelled for my mom to help. My mom came down the basement and press the quick release of the wringer rollers and then rinse my arm with  luke warm water. Why didn't any body tell me it had a quick release?  Good thing I was not at puberty yet. It may have increase in size but it'll wind up flat.I thought about it when I had reached prudery but I didn't. That'll  definitely would smart.

                                Stupid Thing Number Two
One day I need two double "A" batteries to be recharge. So I borrowed my dad's 12 volt car battery charger. I was able to connect the small batteries. I plug the battery charger into an outlet and turn the unit on. Suddenly I heard a sizzling sound and I immediatly  duck under my bed. The two double "A" batteries exploded and there stuck on the ceiling was a  piercing screw driver.Not only that I was covered with charcoal and went down stairs from my bedroom and told my parents "My batteries exploded  !". A little patch , paint work on the ceiling and a baking soda bath everything was back to normal.

                                Stupid Thing Number Three.

When I was a little older I was able to get a place of my own and even owned a gas powered lawn mower.Thing is once the lawn mower was started it wouldn't turn off using the controls, so I tried removing the wire from the spark plug with my  bare hand , that was a big mistake, it shock me and knock me to the ground.After I recovered: I now use a broom handle to disconnect the wire from the spark plug. I still could feel the current going through the wood handle but not as bad as touching the bare wire itself.

Now I am not the only one that had done stupid things. I have a relation who once tried connected an one watt speaker to hundred watt amplifier. Do the math please, do the math .

Also I had a co-working who tried to pour gasoline in a wood burning stove. Glad I was able to catch him in time. Our other co-workers showed up and decided to report him. Needless to say he got fired.
Yes, we use kerosene for the wood burning stoves not gasoline and anybody who does not know the difference between the two stays away from me.
